Born and raised in Hong Kong, Millicent Lai is an award-winning graphic and lifestyle product designer with over 30 years of experience. She served as Chief Designer of Home for the luxury Chinese brand Shanghai Tang for a decade, and her creative expertise has shaped products for global names including Nespresso, Tumi, IKEA, The Peninsula, and InterContinental Hotels.

 

Millicent’s artistic journey took a profound inward turn in 2007, when she faced severe eczema and immune system disorders. Though raised in a family steeped in both Chinese Medicine and Western medical traditions, her healing path revealed that the roots of illness often lie deeper—in unresolved emotions and subconscious beliefs.

 

In 2010, she began exploring emotional and energetic healing modalities, including Heart Empowerment and Pansori Living Sound Healing. By 2013, she studied Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) and Spiritual Restructuring (SpR), which transformed her life physically and emotionally. Answering a higher calling, Millicent became a practitioner of SRT and SpR in September 2013, and was certified as a Consultant by the Spiritual Response Association in February 2016.

 

For 9 years since 2016, Millicent has trained in The SAPHIRE® Practice—Dream Opening®, SAPHIRE® Imagery, Tarot, and Morphology—under Dr. Catherine Shainberg, a renowned Kabbalist and founder of the School of Images® in New York. Rooted in the Kabbalah of Light, this practice awakens the innate healing power of imagination. In 2021, Millicent became the first and only Certified Teacher & Practitioner of The SAPHIRE® Practice in Hong Kong, and began teaching at the School of Images in early 2022. She is also the Director of the School of Images® in Hong Kong, managing regions of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Malaysia.

 

Combining her deep knowledge of Chinese Medicine, holistic healing, and design thinking, Millicent offers a unique integrative approach to help clients release emotional blocks, shift limiting beliefs, and reconnect with their full potential.

 

Since 2019, she has been teaching classes and workshops, and also serves as an English-Chinese interpreter and translator for healing programs and materials.
